    I've seen the fight couple of times. WB got dropped in 5th and his leg got completely fucked up.

    The shocked the world statement is being used incorrectly and poorly. How many people in the world do you think are tuning in to see this ppv being sold around the world. Your pre fight analysis is weak shit guessing. If you're right though. You called it bro.

    He's only +275. I doubt that would be the biggest upset of the year.

    Pettis is on a definite slump. He isn't known for his wrestling so I don't know if there will be a threat of TD...it could be an odd sumission or a punch....I just don't see it. What can Pettis possibly do that Jorge, Rory, Darren & Whittaker wasn't able to....

    If Wonderboy wants another title shot, he needs a dominant win. With Woodley out of the picture, this is the last train for him to get the belt. Pettis winning would be a big surprise for me, I just don't see the way he could do it.

    If you called Pettis bringing back the cage kick for a ko in the last 10 seconds of the last round to shock the world. Then yes the world would be shocked.

    The Barboza fight is the only exception imo. I think he was definitely set up to lose that one. Otherwise, even though I disagree and think WB will win a boring UD, really quality post.

    Gaethje vs Barboza is on my mind every day. That matchup is why I love this sport. Unbreakable spirits meet. It's my new Tony/ Khabib.

    Wish I could say the same for these two..

    What’s silly is thinking that this fight elevated either fighter to a title shot.

    Uhh.... Would you like to stop hanging from his nuts long enough to have an educated opinion? He's won one out his last four fights and you shout off nonsense about being unbeatable?!?! GTFO... He's a great fighter. But he'll never have the strap in WW.

    He won 3 and drew 1 if you have anything close to a brain.

    Pettis will get dominated and finished in the later rounds.

    Not sure what fight media has been watching. Thompson got dominated on 5th and Till smashed his leg on earlier rounds.

    I'll believe that WB's poor striking defense is going to be his downfall on this one.
